It may not be Oscar season yet but it is certainly the season of Oscar trailers.

Benedict Cumberbatch — Hollywood’s go-to actor for prickly geniuses — officially throws his hat in the ring today with the first trailers for The Imitation Game. It’s a biopic of the British mathematician Alan Turing, who worked as a code breaker in World War II, and was later prosecuted for homosexuality. Besides the wonder that is the Cumberbatch, the film also boasts a stellar supporting cast including Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Mark Strong and Charles Dance (yup that’s Tywin Lannister himself).

Cumberbatch’s last Oscar-bait biopic, The Fifth Estate, didn’t do so well, but he did have that awful white Julian Assange hair to contend with. We’re far more hopeful for this one. And if you’re just dying for more Imitation Game, check out the U.K. teaser below, which has some more footage.
